Hi, my tank has been now fully scaped and it is now ready to grow.
The specs are:
- Rekord 120
- 4 x 39W t5's running for 8 hours a day, the lights are 60cm above the tank
- 20W of leds, that run from 12 hours
- 3bps of CO2, using an Atomic Atomiser and needle valve, connected to a Dupla Solenoid and Regulator
- EI dosing daily, with two 50% WC per week
- Substrate is a mix of Dupla and Dennerle nano gravel, over Tropica susbtrate
- Rocks are Seiryu stone and wood is Manzanita
- Plants are:
. Java fern
. Cyperus Helferi
. Java moss
. Lileaopsis Brasiliensis
. Polygonum sp
. Ludwigia Arcuata
. Staurogyne sp.
. Needle leaf Java fern
. Windelow Java Fern
. Hydrocotyle Verticillata growing in between the fern on wood
- Fish are:
. Neon Cardinals
. Cory's
. Ember tetras
. Black otto's
- The shrimp are Cherries and Amanos, and got about 6 nerites
Thankfully I got only green spot algae on the glass, as the light intensity has increased, but the nerites and otto's eat it often.
The emersed plant pots at the back have mostly bog plants, purchased from Planted Tanks, and are covered with moss. They also have mangroves, which are growing very healthily.
For higher res pics go to my flickr page.
